Haul

I love love watching/hearing about hauls. I'm interested in what people got and what they recommend. I went to Sephora today, and went out with an empty wallet. lol. I manly went to get skincare products:

Re: Haul

Way more than that, I have a ton of points roxystar4. Thats why I did not care for the points. Yeah too bad it happened to me but I dont want to say anything anymore cause I dont want the code list to be removed because I got upset and voiced my frustration here. I dont want to affect other ladies here. Sorry ladies.

Re: Haul

Ladies, THIS is the destruction that happens when dangerous promo codes get in the hands of the wrong people. Way too many samples! I used the ITKIT code (bottom right), UNDERWRAPS (top right), and GARDEN- the Gucci Flora in Magnolia- love this scent!

Re: Haul

Looks awesome! I got the other it kit in my order, can't wait to get in it the mail. Would love to hear how you like Josie Maran cheek gelee, I've been thinking about it but they don't have it yet my store yet for me to try.

Re: Haul

I'll update when I've tried it! I did find it interesting in store when swatching these that they leave a slight stain on skin- this is the first cream blush I've tried that does that. Given, on top of foundation/primer, etc they may not reach the skin, but on bare skin it's something to take note of

Re: Haul

So I hate to be the negative nancy on a product that clearly a good number of people love, but you can take my review with a grain of salt and read the others on the product page.

I wasn't crazy about this product at all. Could not get this to work on my cheeks- applied VERY splotchy and unevenly and looked very unnatural. I tried using a few different brushes, my fingers, tried this over foundation, on a naked face and on just primer and I could not get this to apply in a way that I was happy with it. I was considering returning it (I absolutely HATE returning things, have yet to return something to Sephora), but tried it on my lips for kicks and giggles and actually really liked it on my lips. A lot easier for smooth application on my lips and the stain lasted my entire 12 hour shift.

Re: Haul

I grabbed an UD Afterglow Cheek Tint a few weeks ago (and the old ammo palette, deluxe shadow box, full size de-slick spray, plus a travel size all nighter spray and mini primer potion for free ) but I can't get it to stay on my face! I love the way the tarte cheek stains just glide on and look dewy and perfect all day, and the UD just disappears within 5 minutes! Reach up to brush your hair out of your face? Say goodbye to the cheek stain! Want to use a blotting paper in your nose? That'll cost you the cheek stain. It sits on top of my skin and slides right off again, what am I doing wrong??

Re: Haul

Hmm... hopefully roxystar4 can jump in here too, I know she owns one! I haven't had trouble oddly- which shade are you using? I apply my on top of primer/foundation using a stippling brush and then set my whole face with finishing powder and/or one of the UD sprays.

Re: Haul

I've got the shade Greedy. I have tried putting it just on bare skin, with a primer, over foundation (cream and powder) , and using the UD spray with it to see if there was anything that helped. I think stippling sounds like a good idea though, I'll give that a shot and hopefully it'll help it stick but maybe it is just not for me. I only paid $9 so it's certainly the not priciest thing I've bought that hasn't worked out perfectly! I hope it will help though.

The bite beauty lipstick and la creme just arrived today so I haven't had a chance to test them out yet, but I will let you know! I've had the La Creme Juicy Melons shade on my heart list for a while, but I can't find it in stock! My local store is consistently out, and I'm waiting for it to come back in stock online. Hopefully I like the formula

Re: Haul

The Bite Beauty lipstick I liked, but not as much as La Creme. I found the Bite Beauty one slightly drying, and it definitely did not last as long on my lips- it failed the red bull test! (I've decided I'm testing all of my lipstick from now on with the red bull can test ) It was a great color though!

I was excited this morning because Juicy Melons is back in stock, so I'll be making another order!! Or two... I kind of want to get some more shades of La Creme now haha.
